Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged ledger-liveedesktop.pages.dev as an active brand impersonation phishing domain targeting Ledger users. The threat involves a spoofed version of the official Ledger Live Desktop application, distributed through a fraudulent domain designed to harvest credentials and install malicious payloads under the guise of a legitimate software update. Impersonation of trusted hardware wallet brands remains a top vector for cryptocurrency theft, with threat actors increasingly using cloud services like Cloudflare Pages and GitHub Pages to host convincing decoy sites that evade early detection. Users must exercise extreme caution when downloading wallet software, especially when redirected from unsolicited emails or social media ads. This domain was flagged with a zero detection score on VirusTotal (0/95 engines as of analysis) and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure via IP 172.66.47.185. It leverages a Google Trust Services SSL certificate and operates under the Cloudflare, Inc. registrar. While the creation date is not publicly disclosed due to Cloudflare’s privacy protections, the domain uses the .pages.dev TLD, a known GitHub Pages subdomain often abused in phishing campaigns. It shows no presence on major blocklists at time of writing, which increases risk for uninformed users. The absence of detections highlights the need for behavioral and brand-based detection rather than relying solely on AV signatures. To mitigate exposure, users should only download Ledger Live from the official website (ledger.com) and verify the domain in the browser address bar. Enable Ledger’s built-in security features, such as app verification and firmware updates via the official app. Report any suspicious domains to PhishDestroy and Ledger’s official channels. Avoid clicking on ads or links promoting cryptocurrency software updates. Always cross-check download sources with verified community channels and never enter seed phrases or sensitive data on unverified sites. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 7/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 9e50bf4ba037f14617d8018d6af5f4098eb90e7a3f77756166b22fbd6b48c3c5 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ledger-liveedesktop.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledger-liveedesktop.pages.dev Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
